How does anyone get attacked by a shark, can't they hear the music

10/ All of this was totally foreseeable. Frankly, it’s why previous presidents weren’t so stupid to start a war like this.

Trump has lost control of the war. His best course now is to cut his losses and end it. That’s the only way to prevent an even bigger disaster.

is there a nobel prize for lack of self-awareness

Is the “well articulated mission” in the room with us now?

Why don’t the eagles simply carry the ship to Mordor?

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

This sounds like somebody who grew up rich trying to imagine what poor people sound like.

We know how cash money works FAR BETTER than you do. You might know systems like stocks & IRAs & bonds & trust funds, but we do know cash money. We know SNAP doesn’t buy EVERYTHING at the grocery store.

Here's my Blooski statement that Sen. Kennedy calls hyperbolic. I will defend natural law until the day I die, Senator. People's rights come from their humanity, not their government. If ordered to act unethically, you should always refuse. Do Republicans now disagree?

This is not true—driver’s licenses aren’t acceptable under the SAVE Act without additional proof of citizenship. The fact that they keep doing this sleight of hand should make clear that the SAVE Act is not something that “every American gets”

the problem, fundamentally, is that rural voters don't want the economy to be "good" in the typical sense of being efficient or productive, they want it to be "good" in a moral sense where it rewards the people and industries they like

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.

What kind of dumb shit take is this?!

My school district is being forced to lay off several educators and a librarian because of a $500,000 budget gap, or roughly the amount spent on the war while I was typing this post.

Once again, Trump chose the Republican for a Cabinet position who has made the most appearances on Fox over the last month, which appears to be the primary qualification for a senior position in the administration.

If human rights are limited to certain groups, they are not really human rights, are they?

Zelensky has done everything he possibly can to satisfy this admin while he fights a war of survival for his people. And the Trump admin has done nothing but repeatedly treat him with disrespect, scorn & ridicule. 2 days ago, Trump called him “PT Barnum.” This is how Z responds.

Yeah, this clip will certainly be shown as evidence at the trials.

i think most rational, well-informed people of any current or former gender can agree saving young men from their stupidest and most harmful young male impulses is the oldest and most important reason for society to exist at all

New portrait. Senior vs Freshman year

Trump: "See that nice drape? When that comes down right now you see a very very deep hole, but in about a year and half you're gonna see a very very beautiful building. In fact, it looks so nice I think I'll leave it and save money on the doors. I believe it will be the most beautiful ballroom."

I’m a broken record on this but Trump’s entire plan was clearly “kick them in the face, collect praise from Twitter, walk away.” From his perspective it’s always worked before. It seemingly never occurred to them that they may not be able to walk away.

This is a distressing story about Trump’s attempts to impede Thomas Massie’s efforts to release the Epstein files. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

"That's the way it is," says the five-time draft dodger to our military families who fear their loved one in uniform could be next.

What a disgrace.

What we ban here in Europe is mainly stuff in the neo-Nazi realm so this sounds an awful lot like Völkischer Beobachter dot gov

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

certainly makes me feel less than enthused about the US hockey team but I continue to hold that Kash treating the FBI director job as an extended make-a-wish trip is the absolute least damaging thing he could do with the position given this administration's goals

The call has been made! NYC Public Schools will have a full snow day tomorrow.
